|| Chapter Eight ||

Happy Reading

Next day in college
last day of the event

Deetya and trisha arrived together and were having a regular chit chat with their group in the canteen that's when the announcement for the treasure hunt game was made . Trisha and deetya being the part of the game were called for it.
All of the participants gathered in the lawn.
The competition had the criteria where teams were supposed to be of 2 people in each team but the twist was that, pairs will be decided by the cheats with the name written on it. Deetya, Trisha, Taksh, Aarav and rest of the people picked their cheats.
So the final teams were deetya ,aarav and taksh, Trisha.
They got their 1st riddle and started solving it. After eliminating everyone, four of them reached the last round.
The last riddle was of compatibility. Here both the team members have to exchange basic information about themselves with each other and then solve the quiz.

Trisha and taksh had a brief talk and came to a point where they realize they have a lot of similarities and bonded up really well.
Trisha said " You are so like me just like my elder sibling! Can i call you bhai? "
Taksh was quite overwhelmed because of trisha's question as he never had a sister though he always wanted one, he gulped down and said "Why not I'll love to be your brother".

On the other side deetya and aarav had a very deep conversation where deetya told aarva everything about parth, almost every detail and aarav told her everything about him and heer and some where they both got connected. Both of them were equally hurt in their lives and failed in their first love. Aarav consoled deetya and said " If anything ever happens na just let me know I'll always be there for you just like your brother, remember you are never alone ok".
Deetya was really happy to know that.
Aarav was equally broken still tried to get her life together. She smiled at him.
Aarav again said "If you and taksh are really a thing na i assure you he'll never break your heart and if he does na I'll break his face".
Both of them laughed.

Finally round began and eventually Trisha and taksh won it. They received the trophy and clicked pictures together, while deetya and aarav cheered them!
Trisha and taksh came back towards deetya and aarav and Trisha said, "Dekha mein aur bhai jeet gaye". Deetya asked "Bhai? Who bhai kiska bhai?"
Taksh replied "Mein! Trisha ka bhai".
both Trisha and deetya smiled.
Aarav said "Ha toh meri bhi behen hai kyu deetya? ".
deetya supported "Off course hum bhi kisise kam nhi hai".
And all four of them were Smiling.

The day went well and everyone bid a bye to each other and parted their ways.
The day was really a long one as it came up with many new friendship and attachment for trisha, taksh as well as for deetya and aarav.
They became more comfortable with each other.

The difference that trisha and aarav had were fading with time and they came up to the talking terms.
The very night after treasure nd hunt trisha received a message from aarav congratulating her as he didn't did that in front of everyone back then. Firstly it was quite weird for trisha that Aarav nair the khadus has messaged her but finally she gave in too and they started talking, Which gave her reality check that aarav isn't that rude and arrogant as he looks like, he was quite different from that and her opinion towards aarav was changing. Both of them opened up to each other quite well and connected quite soon but up until now they were just in the taking terms not even like friends.

On the other hand deetya and taksh had their own chemistry going on. It was quite visible, both of them had something for each other but what? Well time will answer all the unanswered and will give the proper recognition to their relation.

The next day

Trisha and deetya were in the canteen with their group as a part of after lectures ritual.
Everyone had lots of questions in their mind for Deetya but no one uttered anything seeing Deetya not well.Deetya wasn't feeling well since yesterday night due to exertion caused by events.
While everyone was sitting in silence parth suddenly said to everyone "why no one is asking their dear Deetya about her being all cozy with our senior"
Trisha was about to say something that's when taksh called deetya's name.

Everyone turned towards the direction of voice nd saw taksh entering in canteen followed by aarav nd priyansh. As taksh came closer, Deetya stood up from her chair and so did Trisha.

Taksh asked Deetya "how are you feeling now and how's ur headache"
Deetya replied while scrunching her nose "better than yesterday just headache is getting worse"
Taksh handed her a headache medicine nd told "gulp it down right now coz I m so sure you didn't take any medicine since morning"
Deetya was so surprised coz she didn't asked him to bring medicines but he did just by knowing she wasn't doing well nd had an headache.
Deetya came out of her thoughts when Aarav said "Deetya, iss bande ko aaj itna late ho raha tha phir bhi tumhare liye dawai lene ruka yeh"
Priyansh added "ha bhab, I mean Deetya kal raat final budget list banane ki wajah se late ho gaya isse aur aaj shubham sir ke saath issi se related meeting hai par phir bhi ye medicine lene ke liye ruka "
Deetya was feeling so guilty after knowing he got late just because of her.
By studying her expression taksh knew she was overthinking so he immediately said "Aisa kuch nhiye hai Deetya, jaldi hi soya tha kal mein, tum neeche betho aur ye dawai lo, lunch Kiya na isne Trisha?"
"Ha bhaii khilaya usse, ohh sorry I called you bhaii, I hope you didn't mind"
Taksh said " it's completely fine , you can call me Bhai, plz hand me over her water bottle"
Trisha did what she was asked to do. Taksh made sure Deetya took the medicine.
Aarav said " taksh in just 5 min you have a meeting, let's goo we will see Deetya after meeting"
Taksh replied, "ha chalo, but we aren't seeing Deetya after meeting, coz Deetya is going home and no need to attend the evening meeting, you aren't well nd I can see this , go home nd rest I will call you in the evening"
Deetya was about say "but taksh..."
"No not a word, Trisha plz make sure she reaches safely"
Trisha nodded her head.

Three of them bid everyone bye nd left. After they left parth said, "abhi bhi kisi ko kuch nhi puchna"
Samar said "tu Rukh Jaa, Deetya kya tha ye sab"
Trisha was about to say something but Deetya said "it's ohk Trishh , I am ready to answer their questions".
Samar "kya chal kya raha hai tumhara aur taksh ke beech".
Deetya replied " Dost hai woh mera".
Parth again interrupted "Yeh konse dost hai jinse tum aise pas ja kar baat karti ho?"
deetya replied with sassiness "it's none of your business aur mein tumhe aur jawab dena zaruri nhi samajti".
Samar said " Deetya tum samjho ki woh kehna kya chahata hai, tum uss taksh ko janti hi kitna ho aur uske itka pass aagayi ho! tum abhi janti nhi yeh duniya bas fayda lena janti hai , parth bas yahi batana chahta hai"
Deetya replied furiously "Isse kab se meri fikar hone lagi aur jitni duniya aur uski fitrat mujhe isne sikhayi hai usse aab mein logoko acchi tarah se pehechan leti hun. so plz isse meri fikar karne ki koi zarurat nhi hai aur isse kaho meri life me interfere na kare".

Trisha said " Chal dee bahot ho gaya explanation aab ghar chalte hai teri tabiyat thik nhi hai".
deetya and trisha left.
